The following shows how to get different colors for most features of a scatterplot:
plot(1:11,log(1:11),ann=FALSE,axes=FALSE,col="pink",pch=16) box(col="gray") title(xlab="X Axis Label", col.lab="light blue") title(ylab="Y Axis Label", col.lab="light green") axis(side=1, at=c(2,3,5,7,11), lab=as.expression(lapply(1:5, function(i)bquote(pi[.(i)]))), col.axis="red", col="orange") axis(side=2, at=log(c(2,3,5,7,11)), lab=as.expression(lapply(1:5, function(i)bquote(lambda[.(i)]))), col.axis="blue", col="green") title(main="Main Title", col.main="magenta", sub="(subtitle)", col.sub="yellow") See help(par) for details. The 'cex' and 'font' parameters have same subtypes as 'col'.
